I have lots of different water stones and lots of barber type stones some jap naturals and a few strops. Its alot easier now to hone but takes alot of practice to get things figured out. I spent alot of money to figure out the right combination. Just try to keep your sharpening simple LEE VALLEY has some less expensive stones to a person started. Ide go with a 4k/8k combo and then look for a chinese whete stone in the 12k and buy some green cr ox make a coated strop and buy a decent finishing strop . You will still be spending at least 200 to get started . My jap natural cost 300 but I have near 20 different stones. Lots of people like the synthetic and diamond stones they work fine. but your strop is very important. Kellyw
